So you can still work on the financially secure part without him. It's a good way to find a focus besides the relationship, or the absence for now of a romantic relationship. It'll bring you objective benefits in that you'll be able to provide for yourself and your daughter. It'll bring you emotional benefits, in increased self-confidence and in the reduction of any lingering anxiety about finances. And down the road it might bring you relationship benefits, because seeking financial security through a relationship with some new man won't be on your "to do" list; you'll have your finances in order and you'll be able to concentrate on something more substantial when you consider guys in any future relationships
What steps can you take to solidify your financial security? Improve your education? Move to a new post? Begin a new savings or investing strategy? Learn more about financial matters from books you can borrow at a library, or from any classes or workshops for single parents?
Take your time for yourself. Maybe you still won't end up divorced, but putting your focus on you will be good either way.
Thanks,
